Perpetual "content change detected" message and nav reset every time I start MP

[Katkon]

Hello!

 

I've scoured the forum and Google relentlessly for how to solve/eliminate this message, and followed all available instructions to no avail.  Hope someone has insight:

 

Situation:

 

* To start TruckersMP following a PC reboot, I always have to start (and shut down) vanilla ETS2 first; if I don't, then TruckersMP won't load my player profiles.  I'm not sure this is an issue - I believe that's just how TruckersMP works, and I'm sharing this for context

* Once I've exited ETS2 (which i typically do before loading into the game - i.e. on the profile selection screen), I open TruckersMP

* I follow all the usual login prompts and eventually get to a loading screen, where 75% of the way in I'm met with the "content change detected" message in TruckersMP (and even ETS2 if I try to play Single Player)

* Once in-game, I'm always reset to my garage, irrespective of where I ended my last play session.  So I may have exited in, say, Bucharest after successfully completing a job, but I'm reset to my garage in Amsterdam next time I recboot the game.  Of course, I want to reboot and still find myself in Bucharest

 

Attempted fixes:

 

* I play through Steam, and have managed to locate my Steam profiles and checked config files for the "economy" parameter to ensure it's set to "0".  I have several Steam profiles in my directories - for reasons unclear to me - but I've checked every single config file and 100% have the economy parameter set to "0"

* I have also both deactivated all mods I use in Single Player (in both SP and TruckersMP), and even removed/unsubscribed from all mods - I'm playing 100% vanilla with only downloaded DLC

* I have also tried manually saving my TruckersMP game before existing, in the hope that would solve it

 

Hypothesis:

 

* I *think* the issue may have something to do with the way I start/boot up TruckersMP.  You know, because I always open/close ETS2 first, and then jump to TruckersMP to ensure I get my profiles to show.  But I'm not sure.  If it is, could someone advise how to open TruckersMP w/o first starting and shutting down ETS2?  I have tried starting TruckersMP first (with Steam open), but that doesn't open truckersMP w/ profiles

* If the issue is NOT boot up sequencing, any other ideas?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello there! TruckersMP slightly modified the SCS Software's map and game, and that's why this message appears while loading the game. Everytime you switch from singleplayer to multiplayer or from multiplayer to singleplayer, this message will appear because the game will detect changes to the map and game.

This message only appears  if there will be changes to the map (you will install a map mod or you will switch from singleplayer to mp or from mp to singleplayer), or if the game will receive an update, or you will buy a DLC.

The way to get rid of it is to never switch from multiplayer to singleplayer or from singleplayer to multiplayer.

If you can not find your in-game profile after launching the game via TruckersMP Launcher, restart the game, or turn off saving in Steam-Cloud on your profile.

I can confirm that the issue comes from the way you boot the game. As suggested above, try disabling Steam Cloud Save. If that doesn't work, try fully reinstalling TruckersMP.

Thanks for the replies.  I found the solution, from an older thread on this forum and inspired by the suggestion that the boot up process is the issue.

 

Turns out I need to change my boot sequence to:

* Open Steam

* Launch ETS2 w/ OpenGL from Steam (other options, like DirectX11, or regular launcher don't work properly) - this was THE key step

* Quit ETS2 from profile screen

* Boot up TruckersMP

 

The CloudSave does not interfere with the boot up, thankfully.  In fact, I didn't realize I had it turned off this entire time.  It's now activated, and still works perfectly.  Again, the issue was resolved by opening ETS2 w/ OpenGL before starting TruckersMP.  Thanks all!
